An injection of 100 million euros arrives to get the catering companies back on their feet. The European Commission has approved an Italian 100 million euros scheme to support catering services in the context of the coronavirus pandemic. Under the scheme, the aid will take the form of direct grants of up to 10.000 euros per operator. The remaining balance sheet will be allocated among the eligible beneficiaries according to the ratio between the number of employees of each operator and the total number of employees of all beneficiaries. The measure will be open to operators of catering services of any size. The aim of the scheme is to help beneficiaries meet their liquidity needs and to continue their activities during and after the pandemic.
